Endnote – Mayor Carl Wright was kind enough to provide an historical correction to the above article. Wright wrote: WRKL is not the forerunner to WRCR. WRKL started in 1964 located in Pomona and on the dial was 910. It reached all of Rockland visco elastic and beyond. At one time, it was reported that 65,000 people tuned in to its hotline program that was most popular in the 60′s, 70′s and 80′s. It received national attention when some individuals apparently upset with the messages of various callers burnt the station down. It was later rebuilt and of course sold at the end of the 1990′s. WRCR was the other Rockland station and broadcast from Nanuet on Route 59. It was and still is 1300 on the radio dial. In those early days, WRKL was a vanguard of the type of programming such as having listeners call in and engage in dialogue that would become so prevalent in the decades since.
